Our instructors come with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and influences. We strive to provide diverse views while maintaining the highest quality of excellence in all classes. The views of the instructors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute or the University.

OLLI @ CSULB offers scholarships for those who need financial assistance to participate. Anyone who submits an application and is approved for a scholarship will be eligible for a paid Annual membership and discounted class tuition for the membership year. Recipients will pay a 10% co-pay for each course taken ($1.50). 

Please call the OLLI office to request the Scholarship application. It must be processed prior to registering for classes for the first time.

A Course Feedback Form  is available and can be submitted at any time during the session. An online form will be sent out at the end of the session. The Education Working Group uses the information to improve, change, or search for instructors for OLLI classes. Please let us know your views about the classes at OLLI.
